The Office of Personnel Management has announced a massive data breach in the federal government's employee database. According to the agency, the breach exposed the sensitive personal information - including home addresses, SSNs, and financial information - of 4 million government employees. Although 432 million online accounts were hacked in 2014, Congress has failed to update US privacy laws or pass cybersecurity legislation. EPIC has urged the White House and Congressto promote Privacy Enhancing Techniques that minimize or eliminate the collection of personally identifiable information.
